Come as you are, the story of nirvana
Michael Azerrad
Contra | 2021
The book that is now published in Spanish was originally published in 1993, one year before Kurt Cobain's tragic end. The mission: tell the truth about what was happening around Nirvana and especially their frontman. And it is achieved crudely and without makeup, with interviews with their parents, friends, group members and, with special dedication, a Courtney Love. Since his childhood in a broken family, a youth on the verge of destitution living in tiny, stinking houses, to the disastrous tours in which the band's greatest fun was destroying dressing rooms and fighting with promoters., members of the record company or security personnel, all seasoned with the consumption of high doses of drugs. A review of the musician's life illustrated with old photos and concert posters, which includes in this edition an additional chapter on his death.
